I am about to try to make one but since I am rather smaller in the bust area (cup B) and there is only C and D pattern, do you have an advice on how to adjust the pattern in order to fit size B?<br /><br />Many thanks!<br /><br />Greetings from Prague:)<br /><br />K.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07780805494840613304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-37615077912665676922018-03-07T13:45:42.264-05:002018-03-07T13:45:42.264-05:00how do I get day one and the pattern, need it for ...how do I get day one and the pattern, need it for a show and just love this one, sewpatient@hotmail.comkathy hoskingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-32011938408670449992016-09-14T18:02:18.310-04:002016-09-14T18:02:18.310-04:00Bathing suits are so hard!

I have a retro one from Catalina that's okay but its just not like the vintage ones. Mrs. Depew Vintage on etsy has several vintage sewing patterns and I made her one piece suit a few years back. It's adorable and really good for the tummy because there's two layers of fabric. I was able to make adjustments to the bust to actually fit and support my chest and I added a metal zipper up the back, just like my vintage one!

I remember a brand named Jantzen or something like that. I absolutely hate the stretch nylon suits of today even if they may have a power mesh. Any sources you may know of for the girdles and bathing suits would be appreciated if you haven't got these.

It is entirely over the bust. This way I can make a pattern, a muslin, and my long awaited bullet bras. THANK YOU!!!! Now. Any ideas on girdles that are firm, suited for going to the bathroom, and one that doesn't have to be fought with to get on or peeled off?"D" a WASPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07131248382874718193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-44438440919051211682016-07-15T01:12:46.011-04:002016-07-15T01:12:46.011-04:00I am trying to sew up one for me but the cups are ...I am trying to sew up one for me but the cups are way to small.
